VEHICLE STALLED SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING WHEN BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE AFTER HAVING BEEN STOPPED AT INTERSECTION. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUED TO OCCUR REGULARLY AFTER REFUELING. IT OCCURRED BOTH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND ALSO WHILE IN MOTION. RESTARTING THE VEHICLE WAS SOMETIMES DIFFICULT. ONCE RESTARTED THE VEHICLE FREQUENTLY SURGED WHILE DRIVING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES OF OPERATION UNTIL RETURNING TO NORMAL. THIS PROBLEM AND ITS ASSOCIATED SYMPTOMS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS A SAFETY RISK. AS OF APRIL 2013, I NO LONGER OWN THIS VEHICLE. MY WIFE PRESENTLY EXPERIENCES THIS PROBLEM WITH HER 2006 DODGE MAGNUM SRT-8 WITH THE 6.1L ENGINE. SHE HAS ALSO FILED A VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT. *TR
2006
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE CAR STALLED AT THE NEXT 3 INTERSECTIONS AND RAN ROUGH ONCE ON MODERATE ACCELERATION. NO ENGINE CODES OR WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED. ENGINE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED NUT ONLY WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SLIGHTLY. WOULD NOT RE-START OTHERWISE. PROBLEM RESOLVED ITSELF AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES OF OPERATION. SINCE THEN, ISSUE HAS RE-SURFACED APPROXIMATELY 6 TIMES WITH SIMILAR SYMPTOMS; OCCASIONALLY WITH ENGINE STALLING WHILE THE CAR IS SLOWING DOWN BUT STILL MOVING. ALL TIME ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE FIRST FEW MINUTES OF OPERATION AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. *TR
